Supply network synthesis on rubber seed oil utilisation as potential biofuel feedstock

Ng, Wendy Pei Qin; Lam, Hon Loong; Yusup, Suzana - In: Energy 55 (2013) C, pp. 82-88

demonstrate the optimisation model. In addition, biodiesel price is largely dependent on the feedstock market. Thus, comparison of … ratio of rubber seed oil and crude palm oil has been performed in order to determine the market uncertainty of the biodiesel … price. The potential of substituting rubber seed oil for crude palm oil as an alternative blending feedstock for biodiesel …

Arenas of Expectations for Hydrogen Technologies

Bakker, Sjoerd; Lente, Harro van; Meeus, Marius - Utrecht University, Department of Innovation Studies - 2008

Technological options can be regarded as variations in an evolutionary development process. The variations are put forward by their respective technological communities and are selected by technology selectors. Building on the notion of quasi-evolutionary technology development we show how...
